Youngest just started 9th grade. Oldest finished college in the spring. Times are certainly changing.
***Official back to school thread***
- Thread starter snowcraig2.0
- Start date
Oldest just started Kindergarten. Many decades after I started that journey.
At least 500 people were there for the first day. It was pretty amazing. This was after 2 orientations and meetings with school staff.
My first day was MUCH different. I believe my mom slowed the car down just enough for me to jump and roll.
We were completely on our own. There's the door. Don't get lost on the way home and let yourself in. See you after I get home from work.
Edit: just found out there's ANOTHER meeting to discuss the year's agenda. Jeesh. 100% sure my parents had no idea what was going on

Stanley hired the exec that made crocs famous. Doing some fancy marketing and paying certain people to use the product can make any product big nowadays.
Mine got her first week in as a senior. Dad is gonna be a mess a year from now.
My oldest started 7th and my middle started kindergarten.
My wife was a mess this morning. The kindergartener is her "first born" as the oldest is her stepson. She quit her job when the middle one was born, so he has been home every day outside of preschool for the last 5 years.
The home school kids next door are riding bikes in our yard. Seems to be the main part of their curriculum
One neat thing in our neighborhood is a few block away from us at a 4 way stop in the neighborhood 2 ladies sit on the corner with a sign in the yard that says something like "Have a great 1st day of school. We are retired teachers." They sit and wave at everyone as they pass by or great them as they walk.
Be sure to let us know whether you did indeed remember.
Quick update-- it was in her bag all along.
I hosted a back to school ice cream party last night for the neighborhood kids. Moms loved the boozy root beer floats.
Where was our invite?!? Dads need boozy floats, too.
10th grader & 3rd grader here - happy to have a quiet WFH space after they've been home the past week.
We have a Jr in college, a Jr in HS, and a 7th grader this year.
